Diana Boggia has a masters degree in education with licensure in preschool, elementary and special education. She taught children with multiple disabilities for 15 years and has been working with parents (families) with behavioral concerns for more than 23 years. She develops individualized strategies to build self esteem and diminish negative, attention-seeking behaviors for each child to be successful in achieving remarkable results. Throughout her work with parents Diana has developed a program that includes hands-on materials encompassing limit-setting, developing structure with schedules, teaching time management, increasing listening skills and parenting with incentives, rather than threats. These successful strategies have changed the dynamics of many families who were struggling with their child¹s behaviors.

Kids are typically so carefree and have very little idea about their surroundings, unless they are taught. Teaching doesn’t have to come from a book, and most times the lessons are more easily learned when they are from direct experiences. Start with a civic lesson and a map, so relationships to states and counties and cities become visual. Visit historical sites in your area that will spark further interest in your town. Read about these and other ideas to build a sense of community and hometown pride in “Let your children learn about their town”.
